I just purchased a 2013 X3 and was pondering an issue that plagues my 5 series: namely that there are a lot of high value electronics in the trunk area. The problem with this presents itself when liquid spills in your trunk and floods that high value electronics. For the 5 series the solution is either move the electronics or install a cargo mat that collects the liquids. So question: does this same issue plague the X3 and is it a good idea to get a rubber mat for the cargo area? Is there a bunch of high value electronics under the cargo area in the X3? My guess is the answer is yes since the X3 is a 5 series platform.
